Where Steinbeck generally avoided the hubbub of big cities, Mak balances descriptions of the rural plains and towns that symbolize the country's early origins with fascinating sections on urban growth and decay... An ambitious and enjoyable take on America's story

Rambling, thoughtful, often funny... Wonderful
Guardian
The lyrical story of two journeys interwoven with a broad history and witty observations about the changes of place and people over the past 50 years
Julia Richardson, Daily Mail
The vividness of life is also superbly drawn with exchanges between Mak, and many of the people that he meets on the journey. There are also copious notes and research used to back up many of the points that Mak makes, and how they relate to both Steinbeck’s times, and how things are now.
